You should level the floor in your playing room. How's the APR 24 working for you? hey greg, the sony sounds great although the transport is increadibly loud! i mix in the computer, which is good because i don't know how anyone would be able to hear a mix over all the background noise. the guy i bo...

what did you use to stick the drums to the wall? That's some serious adhesive

yeah, i got a deal on the same shit they used for emerson lake and palmer when they did the whole flying piano thing. (or was it drums??)

Colin, did Steve really call your Warr guitar a "skateboard"? Kevin told me that a while ago, and I still laugh when I think about it. Why did you change the name from "Paincave"? Step inside my pain cave and I'll bludgeon you. hey ian! yes he he did. i believe it was when i lef...

You could try keeping the microphone inside a box or pouch with silica gel sachets in it. These are often supplied with microphones and keep moisture levels low. They need to be dried or replaced occasionally though. There was an article written about this problem on the sound on sound website at o...

i've had an AKG 414 for 3 years now, and two years ago it developed a mysterious problem. the mic generates static-like pops and clicks (almost sounding like a fire in a fireplace), but ONLY during the summer when the air is hotter and more humid. last summer i sent it back to AKG twice to get the p...

thanks for all the suggestions! here's what i ended up doing if anyone is interested. I used the waves "x-crackle" plugin to reduce the grating high-frequency distortion. The plugin did roll a little high end off the track, but i'm fine with that since the mix was too bright to begin with. next i ra...

thanks for the reply. unfortunately, this recording is totally cooked i think. i should post a picture of the waveform so you can see how sad it is. Physically altering the waveform to be less square is a cool idea though! I've always wanted to make a piece in protools solely with the pencil tool--j...
